The
countdown of Christmas Inspirational tidbits continues as we begin day 7. What
do you have planned to make your Holiday season fun?
I was caught
in the middle of an active battle ground. Sitting in bed, propped up by
pillows, with my trusty laptop in hand, is where it all began. One son was
helping me with a technical issue, until the other son popped into the room,
and hurled a bawled-up sock in our direction.
“Hey, cut it
out. I’m trying to finish something,” I screamed.
“That’s okay,
I’ll get him Ma.”
“I’m
calling, daddy.” And that’s what I did.
My youngest
son said, “I can’t believe you’re calling daddy like we’re little kids.”
“Well, if
the shoe fits…”
The brief
sock war ended my sons started a
different battle, on their video game. This was the beginning of their Holiday
home from school. They were having fun, I was not, at least not at that moment.
Here are 7 tips for a fun Holiday season,
1. Have a sock war – round up the
family, crumple-up a few stray socks and let them fly. This is more fun if you
plan for it, unlike my episode above.
2. Breathe – don’t let yourself become
uptight.
3. Let your hair down - or pull it up – repeat #2.
4. Don’t count calories, count your
blessings – eat in moderation over the Holidays, but don’t stress about weight
concerns. Focus on family.
5. Listen to Christmas music – sing along
with the music.
6. Make something – sometimes I’m
crafty, sometimes I’m not. Years ago I stumbled upon a simple craft that was
easy and fun – a no sew, knotted fleece blanket. This is something that you can
work on while watching your favorite TV show. I so (sew) excited that I made
several of them one Christmas. Although, I did make a mistake with he first
one. It was supposed to be throw blanket, but my version fit across an entire
queen-sizes bed.
7. Watch a Christmas movie – When was
the last time you watched Miracle on 34th Street? We can all use a
miracle this year.
What tips
would you add for a fun Holiday season?
